Chapter 5

Li Suimo's breathing hitched, her little face turning pale as she twisted it away from Qin Qing's gaze.

Qin Qing steadied her on the ground, and Li Suimo landed on her feet with a thud.

Qin Qing's voice was cold as she spoke, "What are you doing, rushing around like that? Is your head better?"

Li Suimo choked on her breath, unable to answer.

The bandage on her forehead had been removed, and her wound had healed nicely without leaving a scar.

Qin Qing smiled and said, "Look up."

Li Suimo hesitated but then raised her head and met Qin Qing's peach blossom eyes.

Qin Qing was indeed beautiful, with features that were both stunning and provocative.

Her striking features and alluring figure, combined with the slight smile on her lips and the way she raised her eyes, exuded a sense of aloofness that kept people at a distance.

Unlike Liu Ruo, who had a gentle and charming aura, Qin Qing had the temperament of a seasoned businesswoman who had weathered many storms.

In Li Suimo's eyes, Qin Qing was like a violent aggressor, always wearing a filter of terror.

Li Suimo would become weak in the knees and her face would turn white at the sight of Qin Qing, almost as if it were a physiological response.

Qin Qing noticed the tears welling up in Li Suimo's eyes and furrowed her brow, asking, "What's wrong now?"

Li Suimo couldn't answer, and Qin Qing looked at her with a hint of impatience, as if she didn't know what to do with her.

But it didn't seem like Qin Qing disliked her very much.

Li Suimo suddenly realized that Qin Qing probably didn't hate her too much.

After all, Qin Zhan still liked her, and as someone who was fond of her younger brother, Qin Qing would still care about her.

Qin Qing had even straightened out the hem of her dress, dismissed the maids who had talked behind her back, and had even eaten the snacks she had prepared...

Li Suimo realized that she had been too afraid of Qin Qing before, and so she cleared her throat and said, "Thank you..."

Qin Qing raised her eyebrows and gave up her spot on the stairs to Li Suimo. "Hmm, it's not easy."

Li Suimo asked in confusion, "What, what do you mean?"

Qin Qing smiled mischievously and teased her, "You've been living in the Qin family for almost a week, and this is the first time you've spoken to me?"

When this woman smiled, it was like a summer breeze blowing through, light and refreshing, leaving an indescribable feeling in one's heart.

"..."

The two went downstairs together, Li Suimo walked in front, but always felt a sense of unease behind her.

What is Qin Qing thinking...

She's still laughing at herself?

Li Suimo covered her heart, which was tickled by Qin Qing's laughter, and subconsciously rubbed it twice.

Qin Qing followed behind her, holding a phone in one hand, and when she looked up, she happened to see the girl in front of her make an extremely weird gesture.

Qin Qing imitated the gesture with her hand.

-Rubbing her chest?

She pursed her lips.

They turned back to the first floor.

At the staircase intersection, Qin Qing suddenly called out to Li Suimo, took a big step forward, and Li Suimo was so scared that she subconsciously closed her eyes, her facial features tightly knitted together, and her hands held up in front of her in defense.

A muffled sound!

Li Suimo trembled and heard a cry of surprise in her ears.

Her eyelashes trembled, and she lifted her right eyelid, then her left eyelid.

Qin Qing turned her back to her, holding a golf ball in her hand.

Fu Yanxiao chased after them and shouted from afar, " Sister Qin Qing! Are you okay?"

Qin Qing lazily responded with a sound, holding the ball out in front of Li Suimo.

Li Suimo was stunned and held out her hand, and a white ball fell into the palms of her two hands.

"Hou Kai! What are you doing!"

Fu Yanxiao shouted loudly.

In front of Qin Qing, a tall and straight boy looked at Li Suimo angrily.

Li Suimo: "...Oh, it's you."

The original owner's ex-boyfriend, who had just been dumped less than a month ago.

Hou family's youngest son had pursued the original owner for two years, finally got her, but discovered that she was a cold girl who only loved herself and wouldn't let anyone touch her.

This was quite similar to herself.

Li Suimo didn't want to fall in love. She still lacked a sense of identification with the characters in the book, and viewed them from the perspective of an reader.

Of course, besides the male and female leads and Qin Qing, she had experienced firsthand the feeling of spitting blood when the blood overflowed from her throat. Qin Qing's presence was too strong for her here.

Li Suimo couldn't help but steal glances at Qin Qing.

Hou Kai walked over, Qin Qing leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, looking like she was enjoying the show.

She caught Li Suimo's eyes wandering towards her.

Qin Qing closed her eyes.

At this moment, Qin Zhan also came up from the second floor.

He walked over with big strides, and Fu Yanxiao covered her mouth and stepped back, excited to watch this spectacle.

Li Suimo: "..."

Hou Kai was angry and raised his eyebrows: "Li Suimo! You have no shame, are you just rushing in like this? And you even moved to Qin family's house?"

Li Suimo moved her lips and squeezed out a dry sentence: "...It's none of your business."

She lacked momentum, and her voice was soft and weak.

Fu Yanxiao stared at her: "Li Suimo, are you acting cute?"

Li Suimo: "..."

Qin Zhan walked over and pulled Hou Kai away from behind, controlling him against the wall. "Hou Kai."

Qin Qing left the scene, leaving this chaos to the young people.

Li Suimo stared at the beautiful figure walking away, holding a golf ball in her hand, and her heart suddenly beat wildly.

A very absurd idea suddenly came to mind.

Li Suimo put the ball in her pocket and took a long step to leave.

Hou Kai stopped her. "Li Suimo! What do you mean?"

"What do I mean?" Li Suimo asked back, "Didn't I dump you already?"

Hou Kai's face was very dark. "Is it because of Qin Zhan?"

"They all say you, Li Suimo, moved into Qin family's house for Qin Zhan. What did you do? Were you going to throw yourself at him? Do you have no shame?" he scolded excessively.

Li Suimo frowned, retracted her long legs, walked up to Hou Kai, and said coldly, "Qin Zhan isn't worthy, and neither are you."

Hou Kai sneered, broke free from Qin Zhan, turned around and left, throwing down a sentence before leaving, "What's Qin Zhan compared to me? I'll make you regret it."

He left, and Qin Zhan showed a hurt expression in place. Li Suimo couldn't bear to see it and felt guilty, so she looked away.

Fu Yanxiao had her mouth slightly open. That was really ruthless!

.....

Three days had passed since the birthday party, and Li Suimo spent all day eating and sleeping, torturing the male lead, but Qin Qing was nowhere to be seen in Qin Bay.

On the fourth day, early in the morning, Liu Ruo brought Li Suimo to M Country to shop. They both loved to shop, which suited Liu Ruo's taste.

Li Suimo bit her lip and was still a bit dazed while sitting at the auction scene.

In her past life, she had never had the chance to attend such an auction, and she heard that the entry ticket cost two million dollars. However, Liu Ruo didn't even blink an eye as she brought Li Suimo in.

Poverty limited imagination.

Li Suimo squeezed her skirt and straightened her clothes to conceal her timidity at her first time attending such an occasion.

The original owner had memories of attending a few auctions, but it was a shame that they were not as high-end as the ones Liu Ruo brought her to.

As the auction began, Li Suimo watched as Liu Ruo bid nonchalantly on two sets of jewelry worth tens of millions, a necklace worth five million dollars, and even wanted an antique car.

"Bring them back and put them in Huaiyan's backyard. They might look good there."

Huaiyan was also Qin Qing's name, and in her generation, the character "Huai" was used.

However, the wealthier the family, the more feudal superstitions they tended to have.

So, they had a fortune teller look at Qin Qing's palm, who said that she would grow up to be naive, have trouble speaking, and easily cause misunderstandings among those close to her.

Therefore, they changed "Qing" to "Yan."

Qin Qing didn't like the name "Yan," so her official documents still had her name as Qin Qing.

The name "Huaiyan" was generally used by close people.

Li Suimo said, "... Maybe Qin Qing doesn't like this style?"

With her casual suggestion, Liu Ruo really didn't buy it.

Then, a staff member brought out a hairpin, designed in the shape of a thorn flower, with a low bid and a mediocre design.

The thorn flower symbolized an unrestrained and strong soul, and Li Suimo raised her hand.

"Three million dollars!"

Liu Ruo glanced over and said, "It's just average. Do you like this kind of plant, Momo?"

"...It's a bit green."

The thorn flower was essentially a green plant with thorns.

"Five million dollars!"

Someone was competing?

Li Suimo turned her head and caught a glimpse of Hou Kai.

He was holding a female companion who was peeking at the platform and seemed to really like the hairpin. Hou Kai was comforting the woman while looking at Li Suimo with a rebellious gaze.

Li Suimo: "..."

This is so cliché.

Liu Ruo also noticed and said to Li Suimo nonchalantly, "Just charge it to Aunt Liu's account and take the bid."

The Qin family is really extravagant. Li Suimo twitched her nose and raised her hand to bid.

"Six million!"

Hou Kai raised his hand, and Li Suimo heard the host say eight million.

Maybe she shouldn't do this kind of thing where she spends money to vent her anger. It's not her style.

As soon as she thought this, memories from the original owner's mind flashed through her own.

"There's nothing I, Li Suimo, can't get!"

Her waist was poked, and Li Suimo grunted before adding, "In U.S. dollars."

Liu Ruo looked at her with satisfaction.

She had to admit that when she saw Hou Kai's constipated face, a sense of satisfaction surged in her heart.

In the real world, she was just an ordinary office worker who lived off a fixed salary, and she was always tight on money.

She had dreamed of spending extravagantly and throwing her money around. But thanks to the original owner's good fortune, this dream had actually come true!

The hairpin was delivered to her hands, and Li Suimo looked at it. Other than the green color, she couldn't see any flaws.

This is the thrill of spending money!

She held the pen and wrote her own name on the check. She had just finished signing it when Liu Ruo snatched it away and tore it up, then handed her a new check with the name Qin Qing written on it.

Li Suimo: "..."
